Colorado State Patrol is investigating a fatal rollover crash that happened around 6:30 Saturday morning near Silt.

A 19-year-old woman from Denver was thrown from a blue 1997 Honda CR-V at Interstate 70 milepost 95 and killed, according to the State Patrol. Drug use is suspected as a contributing factor in the crash. Police did not identify the woman killed.

Baseball backstop stolen

The Grand Mesa Little League reported Saturday that a large baseball backstop, valued at more than $5,000, had been stolen from a facility at 518 28 3/4 Road.

A member from the league told police the backstop was last used Tuesday and stored on the north side of the property. It was described as about 15 feet tall, very wide, with metal netting and wheels.

The same league member told police “the backstop had to have been loaded onto a flatbed trailer of some sort,” according to an affidavit.
